The Custom Bra Experience: Zyrra Helps You Find Your Perfect Fit

I've shared more of my bra woesaround here than I probably should, my own Google-ability considered, but today I'm pretty excited to share an actual solution with you dolls--the genius custom bra from Zyrra.

The Zyrra experience goes something like this: A bra fit expert shows up at your door, does 10 measurements in 10 minutes, lets you choose the fabric and lace in colors you love, and then sends you a customized bra in a few weeks. I was skeptical--like I said, I've had some bra woes! Being a 28D ain't easy!--so I took them up on their offer to send a specialist to my office to create my perfect undergarment. Ja-Nae arrived with a bag of goodies in tow and a very girlfriend-y air about her (which helps when you're about to ask someone to strip down to their skivvies). She made quick work of my measurements, going beyond the standard cup-and-band method that makes so many regular store bras ill-fitting where you need them to fit the most. She measured from my nipples to my shoulders, between my breasts, from side to side, and a whole slew of other places that apparently help them formulate just the right size.

Then she showed me swatches and let me pick exactly which colors and fabrics I wanted--a new service for Zyrra--and get creative. I went with a hot pink satiny lining with nude lace on top, which looked just as cool as I imagined it would when it arrived a few weeks later. It also fit like a glove. I've always had problems with the back band being small enough, but this one was snug enough to wear on the largest hook. I've also suffered from the dreaded quadra-boob when the band actually is small enough, because it forces my breasts out of the cups--not so with my new Zyrra. It's also comfortable and luxurious-feeling, and while it's not exactly my sexiest piece of lingerie, it's cute enough that I don't mind my boyfriend seeing it, and its other benefits far outweigh its less-than-Agent-Provocateur looks.

Zyrra has fit specialists all across the country--email them here to set up your 10-minute appointment!--and also lets customers hosts parties at home, where a gaggle of girlfriends can all get fit at the same time (it's like Tupperware party for lingerie!). If you want to find out how to host a party (or even become a fit specialist!), check out their website. They don't come in traditional "sizes," in fact each piece is custom created for the woman who orders it, so they can accommodate just about anyone out there--which is what sets this bra fitting experience apart.* And they keep your measurements on file so you can re-order at any time. Prices start at $85--which isn't cheap, for sure, but considering the right foundation garments can make you look 10 pounds thinner and give you an instant confidence boost, we think it's a worthwhile investment.
